Guess who’s back… back again.

Welcome back, my fellow Cinephiles! It has indeed been a long time since I last posted. For that, I can only apologise. I have been dealing with some personal things, like graduating from University in BA (Hons) Film… who would have thought that, ey? I am however, going to be writing up some more reviews soon.…

Brash Young Turks (2016, Naeem Mahmood)

‘Brash Young Turks’ described by the director himself,  as being “a 90 minute coming-of-age crime film that tells a fast paced struggle of love, crime and power, against all odds”. Now, everyone who reads my posts knows how much I enjoy crime dramas, so this was a treat to watch! I enjoyed the fast-paced tempo…

Deadpool (2016, Tim Miller)

This isn’t any ordinary Marvel movie. It’s got blood, guts and rudeness all wrapped up into one masterpiece. Even from the credits at the beginning of the film, they basically take the piss out of every other Marvel film made – no wonder this became such a hit! I don’t think there was really a second I…

Room (2016, Lenny Abrahamson)

Well, this film is emotionally exhausting. I understand why Brie Larson has been winning these awards! Room is the adapted novel that features Joy ‘Ma’ Newsome and Jack Newsome (Jacob Tremblay), a mother and son who come to terms with room and the world around them. They shared everything from food, a bed, a shower…

The Danish Girl (2016, Tom Hooper)

Oh, this film was so beautiful. Eddie Redmayne was beautiful, Alicia Vikander was beautiful, the story was beautiful, the script was beautiful, the mies-en-scene was beautiful… when I say it was beautiful, I mean everything. was. beautiful. The story begins at Einar and Gerda Wegener’s house, where the two painters are… well… painting. Then follows…

The Revenant (2016, Alejandro G. Iñárritu)

Oh Leo… I hope you finally get this Oscar after everything you went through & let me tell you… it was brutal. I won’t give too much away but I wouldn’t eating during the viewing of this film. I saw the GG before I saw this film and now I can understand why he won the…

In The Heart Of The Sea (2015, Ron Howard)

Ever since I heard about this film being made, I was so excited… and I wasn’t disappointed either. Ron Howard and Chris Hemsworth are a great duo and I hope to see even more from them in the future. Since Rush (2013, Ron Howard), I was anticipating that ITHOTS (it’s easier this way… for the…

Victor Frankenstein (2015, Paul McGuigan)

Finally, after the second attempt of being in the cinema, I managed to watch this film. Don’t ask me why, it’s a very long story, but I was right in being persistent to go back and watch it – I really enjoyed it. I like that it was pretty much a prequel to the Frankenstein “franchise” and…

High-Rise (2015, Ben Wheatley)

First of all, I would like to say that I was fortunate enough to attend the BFI screening of this brilliant film and I wasn’t disappointed. High-Rise is based on the novel by J G Ballard set in the 70s about residents in a High-Rise building, designed by Anthony Royal (Jeremy Irons) himself. However, the…

Legend (2015, Brian Helgeland)

Let me start off by saying how magnificently superb Tom Hardy was in this. All the work that was put into making this film, just by him is amazing. Researching two completely different psychopaths and portraying them brilliantly – he’s fast becoming one of my favourite actors of all time. If you don’t know already,…
